    Adrian Beltre looked like that for a while, until he was traded to signed with the Red Sox and started mashing again.

    Let's see how many of these I can get wrong:

    Steelers-Ravens: Baltimore's offense sucks, but so does Pittsburgh's defense. Steelers in a close one.

    Dolphins-Bills: I like Tannehill better than Manuel. Would love to see another big game from Moreno, too.

    Jaguars-Redskins: I think Jacksonville plays well for two halves this week. No faith in RG3 anymore.

    Cowboys-Titans: Tennessee has plenty of weapons to make it a long day for Jerrah and Co.

    Cardinals-Giants: Cross country trips are rough, but the Giants looked terrible Monday night. Still wouldn't be surprised if they won, though.

    Patriots-Vikings: Cordarelle Patterson is awesome, but I can't see the Patriots going 0-2.

    Saints-Browns: Cleveland was impressive in the second half last week, but the Saints usually rebound well under Payton. 4 TDs for Brees.

    Falcons-Bengals: Game of the week. I'll take the home team.

    Lions-Panthers: Can Stafford have two great games in a row? I say no.

    Rams-Bucs: Lovie will make the most of facing a third-string QB.

    Seahawks-Chargers: Seattle.

    Texans-Raiders: I have a feeling the Oakland defense will have a big day.

    Jets-Packers: Blowout of the week. 4 TDs for Rodgers.

    Chiefs-Broncos: 5 TDs for Manning.

    Bears-Niners: Cutler threw 5 picks in 2009 matchup against a lesser San Fran defense. Kaepernicks's first start came in 2012 matchup -- an embarrassing Chicago loss in which Aldon Smith sacked Jason Campbell roughly 73 times.

    Eagles-Colts: Should be a wild one. Toss-up in Indy.

    Drew Brees needs 62 yards Sunday in Cleveland to eclipse Elway for fifth on the all-time passing list. That was quick.

    Maybe he can get those 62 on a 98-yard drive.

    Next on the list for him to pass would be Dan Marino -- 9,947 yards to go. At the rate Brees is going, it wouldn't surprise me if he gets there by the end of 2015.

    And third for passing TDs for that matter. Brees is currently fourth, 56 TDs needed to pass Marino.

    Anyone wearing a Ray Rice jersey should be barred from Ravens' stadium
